Trees Atlanta Arbor Day Speaker Series

With the generous support of the City of Atlanta and Atlanta’s Tree Conservation Commission Trees Atlanta is excited to announce our first Trees Atlanta Georgia Arbor Day Speaker Event with nationally recognized author, Jim Robbins, author of The Man Who Planted Trees and science writer for The New York Times. This first speaker of 2014 will present an inspirational presentation entitled ‘The Power of Trees And How It Can Help Save the World’.

Jim will describe in his talk: “The things we do know about trees, and the many things we don’t — from their ability to clean up toxic waste to the ways scientists say they connect to the cosmos. Trees heal people, are critical to insects and wildlife as medicine, and, some scientists believe, even have a nervous system that allows them to think, strategize and communicate. Most importantly he explains why trees should be seen as an “ecotechnology” to accomplish a wide range of important functions to heal broken ecosystems and adapt a changing planet.”
